| '''Crooks''' are hooded enemies encountered in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. [[Mario]] and [[Mallow]] first encounter Crooks while traveling through [[Rose Way]]. When a Crook spots Mario in the area, the Crook attempts to run into Mario and his partner, initiating a battle. Though Crooks have powerful attacks (punching and throwing daggers), their defense and [[Heart Point|HP]] are low, with a powerful [[Action Command|Timed Hit]] being able to take them out. They do not have any weaknesses or resistances, so all types of magic do the same damage. Crooks are often found in groups aiding other monsters in battle. Occasionally, Crooks will [[flee|escape]] from battle.

|
| |
|
| [[Croco]] also has three Crook accomplices (who are referred to as "flunkies") whom Mario and company can fight in the [[Mole Mines]]. If these Crooks are defeated in battle, they leave a [[Flower Tab]]. One of these Crooks can also be seen in the end of the game during the parade.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In the original [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] release, Crook's [[Thought Peek|thought]] suggests that the player cannot escape from combat against Crooks, although the player can still run from battle against them anyway. In the Japanese version and the Switch remake, the quote is instead 「逃げちゃダメだ..逃げちゃダメだ..。」which is lifted directly from the first episode of ''{{wp|Neon Genesis Evangelion}}'', where main protagonist Shinji Ikari uses the mantra (translated as "I mustn't run away" in the ADV Films English dub and "don't run away" in the Netflix English dub<ref>Netflix Anime. February 24, 2021. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HU6R_8SyRs Neon Genesis Evangelion | Multi-Audio Clip: Don't Run Away | Netflix Anime]. YouTube. retrieved November 22, 2023.</ref>) to force himself to take action.<ref>Clyde Mandelin (June 29, 2020). [https://legendsoflocalization.com/the-pop-culture-obsessed-monsters-in-japanese-super-mario-rpg/#pachiru-crook The Pop Culture-Obsessed Monsters in Japanese Super Mario RPG § Pachīru / Crook]. ''Legends of Localization''. Retrieved July 7, 2021.</ref> The English translation of the remake leans closer to the Japanese original, but paraphrases Shinji's mantra rather than quoting either English dub of the TV series.
